Overview

Retrospective review evaluates technical and clinical success of biliary stents in complex strictures, suggesting a feasible treatment option.

Key Points

  • This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of articulated plastic biliary stents in managing complex hilar and bilioenteric strictures.
  • Retrospective single-center review of patients with APBS placement from July 2014 to March 2025.
  • Analysis of patient demographics, obstruction etiology, and outcomes including technical and clinical success.
  • Follow-up procedures and adverse events were tracked.
  • Technical success achieved in 100% of cases (n = 15).
  • Clinical success reached 86.7% (n = 13), with significant symptom improvement.
  • Mean number of procedures per patient was 6.1, with median follow-up of 8 months.
